I was out walking the dog this morning and it’s a very pleasant day. Overcast and cool but good fall weather.  Maybe the wind is blowing harder above the trees but at ground level it’s calm. A wind off the lake is pretty typical at this time of the year so balls to RF will be affected a bit. Anyway, should be fun. Looking forward to getting over there today.

I think br is still waiting for Francisco Lindor to revert back to the .738 OPS he had in 1880 plate appearances in the minors...

Yeah, easy to see Almora and Lindor are very similar...

In Almora's minor league career, he had 1733 plate appearances, and a career .738 OPS.

In Lindor's minor league career, he had 1880 plate appearances and a career .738 OPS.

You're right, it's very easy to see...

If that's all you can see, for sure.

That's the Almora argument, anyway...

I suppose 41 games in 42 days (or whatever it was) may have had something to do with it.

If the Cubs had not had to travel back to D.C. for that single make-up game, that's where they'd be today.

Those stats are even worse when you consider the boost they received from Murphy.

With the possible exception of Jesse Chavez (two innings), all of today's relievers should be able to go on Tuesday so who gets dropped in favor of Terrance Gore?

James Norwood?
Dillon Maples?
Jose Quintana?
Alec Mills?
Allen Webster?

Did they have any good stretches this year though?  They started off slow and it was thought they would pick it up when the weather warmed up.  But they didn't really.  No leadoff hitter, Bryant down year/injury, unfavorable schedule, crummy hitting coach, wind blowing in most days at Wrigley throughout the summer...what else?

Final tally: The Cubs scored 0, 1, or 2 runs 55 times in 163 games this year.  For comparison, they failed to score 3 in 47 games last year and 36 games in 2016.

They scored less than 2 runs 39 times this year, compared to 28 games in 2017 and 19 in 2016.

I'm sure glad Joe saved Edwards for tomorrow.
